In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is classified as definite-lived or indefinite-lived depending on whether the product has been approved and if commercialization has begun. IPR&D for products that have been approved is classified as a definite-lived intangible asset and is amortized over the life of the asset. IPR&D for products that have not been approved is classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and either begins to be amortized upon approval and product commercialization or is written-off if the product is not approved.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company sold an IPR&D asset to Banner Life Sciences for cash consideration equal to its net carrying value of $3.6 million. At the time of the sale, the asset had a gross carrying value of $7.9 million and had incurred $4.3 million in impairments.
